Nonlinear relations between house dust mite allergen levels and mite sensitization in farm and nonfarm children (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Low sensitization rates to common allergens have been observed in farm children, which might be due to high exposure to microbial agents. It is not known how microbial agents modify the as
Integrated cytokine and metabolic analysis of pathological responses to parasite exposure in rodents (Publications)
Parasitic infections cause a myriad of responses in their mammalian hosts, on immune as well as on metabolic level. A multiplex panel of cytokines and metabolites derived from four parasite-rodent mod
The group-lending model and social closure: microcredit, exclusion, and health in Bangladesh (Publications)
According to social exclusion theory, health risks are positively associated with involuntary social, economic, political and cultural exclusion from society. In this paper, a social exclusion framewo
Immune deficiency in mouse models for inherited peripheral neuropathies leads to improved myelin maintenance (Publications)
The adhesive cell surface molecule P(0) is the most abundant glycoprotein in peripheral nerve myelin and fulfills pivotal functions during myelin formation and maintenance. Mutations in the correspond
Bacterial and fungal components in house dust of farm children, Rudolf Steiner school children and reference children--the PARSIFAL Study (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Growing up on a farm and an anthroposophic lifestyle are associated with a lower prevalence of allergic diseases in childhood. It has been suggested that the enhanced exposure to endotoxin
Exposure to microbial components and allergens in population studies: a comparison of two house dust collection methods applied by participants and... (Publications)
Dust collection by study participants instead of fieldworkers would be a practical and cost-effective alternative in large-scale population studies estimating exposure to indoor allergens and microbia
Bicyclo[2.2.2]octyl esters of dialkylamino acids as antiprotozoals (Publications)
A couple of bicyclo[2.2.2]octyl esters of 2-dialkylaminoacetic acids were prepared. Their antiplasmodial and antitrypanosomal activities against Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense (STIB 900) and the K(1)
